island hopping pt. 2 – syros, greece

17th August 2015
We boarded our ship as it sat calmly on the Mediterranean water. This was my first time aboard a cruise ship. The ship was modest but welcoming in its decor, we would be spending such little time aboard as we hopped across the Greek Islands that it is all that was needed. After enjoying lunch aboard the ship we set sail for our next stop, Syros a beautiful island packed full of greek heritage. We meandered the white marble streets where bellowing bright pink blooms hung beautifully over boutique doorways, our guide took us around some of the most breath taking buildings and churches that still stood seemingly immaculate after many years. The attention to detail in Greek architecture from intricately tiled floors to painstakingly handcarved statues and columns meant with every look there was something new for our eyes to feast upon. Following our tour of the main town in Syros we sat down to dinner at a beautifully crisp white open air restaurant which felt like it was situated with in the sea, only separated by a wall which was constantly stroked by the waves as they broke. The food too came in waves and we enjoyed delicious local cuisine and produce until we could consume no more and finally returned to the boat for our first night on the water. Next stop – Cesme, Turkey.   For more information on booking your 4 day idyllic cruise please visit the Celestyal Cruises & Aegean Airlines website.   This post was shot on the Olympus PEN E-PL7 Kit & 45mm lens.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
